47 Community Groups to Share in over $1.1 million of funding

October 22, 2018

More than 700 community groups in Queensland, including 47 in Toowoomba and the Darling Downs, will benefit from $14.1 million worth of grants as part of Round 97 of the Gambling Community Benefit Fund.

Attorney General Yvette D’Ath says community groups in Toowoomba and the Darling Downs would share in over $1.1 million worth of funding.

“In this latest round of funding announced today, local clubs and community groups were big winners with the Goondiwindi and District Historical Society, Willowburn Football Club, Toowoomba Turf Club and Kiyua Performing Arts benefiting from grants that will help them improve their facilities.”

“Glen Alpin State School will benefit from a grant of $30 000 to upgrade one of their current playgrounds which I know the students will be excited to see and play on.

“This is exciting news for these groups and allows them to fund projects that would have otherwise been out of reach. It is wonderful to see these groups receiving funds that will allow them to improve the services they provide to the local community.”

“These groups are the backbone of the community and the Palaszczuk Government is committed to supporting them as much as possible.”

The Gambling Community Benefit Fund is the state’s largest one-off grants program and provides about $53 million a year to our vital community groups.
